been lately into movies and music that deal with social isolation and depression.

Not personally depressed at the moment but I enjoy consuming media with such sentiments.

hahah i tend to forget about the cowboys.
aki's "finland" trilogy is by far his best work in terms of a balance between comedy and nihilism.

gotcha. Check out The Anatomy of Melancholy and The Book of Disquiet--safe, critically approved, superficially obscure middlebrow fare that a NYT columnist would give you a celebratory pat on the bottom for reading

Also since you're a criterion drone, try digging around the NYRB Classics imprint--it's like the Pitchfork of books, but still okay to like
